More than three decades after its first publication, Edward Said's groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East has become a modern classic.In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding. Essential, and still eye-opening, Orientalism remains one of the most important books written about our divided world. Review: Great - Great. A splendid work of research Review: A milestone. - This book is the source code for all authors and scholars indeed. Arguably the best book to understand the western concept and devious construct of eastern civilization specially Indic culture at large.

Papers are too dark, Small Font
Not a Content review : Papers are too grayish. Print is also average. Fonts are quite small. And packaging was poor that it bent the back cover page slightly. But still giving four stars as I haven't read the book but I heard it's good.
